[newbie] Xine/Kxine?
Greetings, I wonder if someone could explain to me just exactly what Kxine is? I know that it says in the description that it is a graphic frontend for Xine to integrate into KDE. I already had an entry in my KDE menu for Xine, so what does Kxine do that Xine can't, in relation to KDE? I installed Kxine, and now I have Xine and Kxine in my menu :-/ I tried to gain understanding from Kxine's Handbook, but the writers are obviously practical jokers or something. (eg. Kxine is an application specially designed to do nothing you would ever want. from Kxine Handbook pg. 1) Any further enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Enquiring minds want to know ;-) TIA. --Angus Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.--James Thurber *** *Reg.
